A block selection of some of the producer's most prized sites, this is made from 34% Little Hill, 28% Sweetwater, 19% Big Hill, 12% West Block and 7% East Block. Thick in bacon, grilled meat and brooding cherry fruit, it shows a chalky, gravelly texture in its structured, intense and tightly wound youth. Enjoy best from 2030-2040.

Racy from the get-go, this delivers a delicious mix of linzer torte, blood orange and plum flavors inlaid with incense, black tea and mineral threads that add tension and range through the finish, dovetailing nicely with a pretty gloss of spicy toast. Best from 2023 through 2030. 1,456 cases made.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Estate is a soft, open-knit wine to drink now an over the next few years, while the flavors remain bright. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, spice and rose petal linger nicely in this delicate, gracious Pinot from Rochioli.
